cool.  My best tool yet is a plane.  My eyes are too soft and have too much pain on them to remove much wood.

Man I would have to say I use my pocketknife alot.  It just seems to work great for rounding edges and scrapeing.

tough question there.

as power tools go, that would be my belt sander. for hand tools, i have to go with 4-in-1 rasp, with the sureform and plan close behind it.

i try to find a good use for any tool i'm lucky enough to lay my hands on or make, and to balance it out i try not to place too much importance on any of them.

I have to say that the Shinto saw rasps have been pulling my eyes toward them lately.
